Chapter 258: How about jumping over the city wall? (For "Aqing who loves reading novels")

Su Zhiwan sighed, "Ji Wenyi is hunting us down. I'm leaving now. You'll be on your own from now on."

Before Ye Xiaoman could react, the figure disappeared.

Run faster than a rabbit.

Ye Xiaoman stood where she was.

A strange city, strange people.

Now that you are here, make the most of it.

Su Zhiwan is right, it’s better not to go back to the imperial capital.

Although she promised to snatch the Demon's Heart from her superior, the sacrifice ceremony was postponed indefinitely, so it was reasonable that she could not complete the task.

Just leave the divine realm and return to the human world.

Stay out of the spotlight first.

I will notify Xiao Chujing, Sikong Qing and fellow disciples to gather in Dingya City later.

Jiaying found an excuse to fool her, saying that she couldn't elope with him for the time being, but she still loved him deeply, so the remaining leaves of the marrow-cleansing grass would be sent to the human world.

Ji Wenyi and Ji Weiming...let's lose contact forever, just treat her as dead.

Ye Xiaoman finished her plan and wanted to send a message to her sisters to thank them for their help.

[You have been blacklisted by the other party. You can apply to restore the friendship within one month.]

...Okay.

Ye Xiaoman planned to find an inn first.

Having a place to stay so that the specific address can be sent to Xiao Chujing and others.

As soon as she walked into a guesthouse, a large group of soldiers descended from the sky and surrounded the inn.

"It is suspected that Xianglaji has returned the treasure, take it away!"

Several swords were immediately placed on Ye Xiaoman's neck.

Why are there informants everywhere in your Divine Realm?

Ye Xiaoman had just escaped from danger, but entered another dangerous area.

He was taken to the City Lord's Mansion.

When she arrived at the yamen, she found out that she was not the only one who was arrested for the "Spicy Chicken Leg Burger".

It turned out that as soon as she escaped from the Prince's Mansion, Ji Wenyi sent people to look for her everywhere and asked the surrounding cities to keep an eye on her movements at all times.

The efficiency of the Divine Realm was very high. As a stranger who moved into the city, she was photographed by the surveillance array as soon as she entered the city.

All the young women were arrested and their identities checked.

The deputy city lord took the photo ball and confirmed them one by one.

Ye Xiaoman was at the end of the line. When she saw the image in the deputy city lord's hand, she realized that Ji Wenyi was giving her the fake face she wore when she played "Gong Zhaoyi".

She raised her sleeves and secretly took off the mask, revealing her original face.

The line was getting shorter and shorter, and the deputy city lord walked up to her and looked her up and down.

His eyes lit up, "My Lady?"

Ye Xiaoman said seriously: "I am not."

The deputy city lord was very sure: "The robes you wear may look simple, but the fabric is made of precious silk, specially supplied to the royal family. It is low-key and luxurious. You must be right."

Ye Xiaoman regretted accepting the new clothes Ji Wenyi offered as compensation. "Look carefully, I look different from the person on the photo ball."

The deputy city lord took out the communication magic weapon. After a long while, Ji Wenyi's face appeared on the other side of the water mirror. He looked at Ye Xiaoman deeply and said, "It's her. I will come over immediately."

Is this okay?

Ji Wenyi, you are so good, you actually opened a dedicated express line.

She has only been running away for a while.

Ye Xiaoman was taken to see the city lord.

The city lord was standing in the conference room, angrily cursing Ji Wenyi and Ye Xiaoman with his men.

"If your king starts a war for a beauty, it's a sign of a king's doom. No cultivator seeking after him will follow him."

"Once I catch Xiangla, I'll see for myself what kind of charm that beauty brings disaster. One woman married three husbands, had affairs with three men, and has no shame!"

The deputy city lord walked behind the city lord and said, "Sir, Xiangla has been captured."

The city lord turned around angrily and was stunned when he saw Ye Xiaoman's true face.

"She really is..."

The deputy city lord nodded.

The city lord's rage intensified. "She's so beautiful and has such an honest look, how could she be so fickle? You're spreading rumors about a weak woman, you're really going too far!"

Ye Xiaoman stood properly and asked politely, "I heard that Dingya City no longer obeys Ji Wenyi. Why did the city lord want to arrest me?"

The city lord asked Ye Xiaoman to sit down. "To be honest, the king killed the king and his father. I was against his ascension to the throne. Unfortunately, several of my children joined the camp of Prince Teng in the imperial capital and were captured by him after the failure of the plan."

Ye Xiaoman asked, "Are you planning to use me to exchange hostages with Ji Wenyi?"

"That's right," the city lord said, "after the news of your escape spread, those of us who participated in the rebellion and wanted to get promoted and make money all wanted to capture you and negotiate with Emperor Yi."

"I didn't expect you to come to Dingya City. I got a great bargain."

The city lord smiled and said, "You are now the most valuable treasure in the Divine Realm."

Ye Xiaoman: "In other words?"

The city lord said: "You can't escape the divine realm, so you should go back and marry your Lord."

Ye Xiaoman realized that she had thought things too simply and underestimated the extent to which the ruling class could control everything. If she wanted to leave the divine realm, she would need to put in more effort.

Ji Wenyi is too difficult to deal with. It seems that there is no way to get rid of him except death.

Speaking of death, she suddenly had an idea...

"Just give me to yourself." She had no room for refusal.

Ye Xiaoman said sadly, "Although I sacrificed my lifelong happiness and freedom, as long as I can reunite with your family, I can say that my death was well-deserved."

The city lord had heard the story of Ye Xiaoman and Ji Weiming, who were lovers but unable to get married. He imagined that Ye Xiaoman left Ji Wenyi so decisively in order to find the one she truly loved.

He had broken up a marriage and felt a little guilty. "What's your last wish? I can help you realize it, like sending a love letter to King Rui."

Ye Xiaoman was waiting for him to say this: "When will Ji Wenyi arrive?"

City Lord: "Tomorrow morning."

"There will be a surrender ceremony. I will surrender the city and you to him in exchange for my family."

Ye Xiaoman winked mysteriously at the city lord, "After I die, could you please help me destroy my body?"

The city lord was shocked.

…

The wind is whistling and the water in the moat is cold.

Ye Xiaoman, wearing a veil and a little white dress, stood on the city wall.

According to Ye Xiaoman's many years of reading experience, the way every heroine in a sadistic novel resists the scumbag is to jump off the city wall/cliff/Zhuxiantai, and slowly close her eyes amid the scumbag's heart-wrenching roar of regret.

Although Ye Xiaoman never understood why the scumbag was not kicked off the city wall/cliff/Zhuxiantai, but the victim paid with his life, isn't that a lie?

Ye Xiaoman plans to flexibly apply the knowledge learned from books to practice.

This way of dying is in line with her character in Ji Wenyi's eyes.

A little white lotus who would rather die than live in disgrace.

After Ji Wenyi arrived, she became a fighter against the oppression of imperial power. She would rather die than surrender and jumped off the city wall in front of everyone.

There was a moat on the side of the city wall she was facing, and the water in the moat was highly poisonous to resist attacks from foreign enemies.

She took precautions in advance, so the poison could not harm her. After jumping into the river, she lurked under the water and escaped through the underground sewer. The city lord would arrange for another female corpse that had been eroded beyond recognition by the poisonous water to float up and replace her body.

In this way, she escaped and faked her death in exchange for true freedom.
